The numerous crisscrossing lines on the wall reveal a vast network of relationships, showing who Lin Feng was communicating with, the subsequent reactions, and the actions taken.

It can be said that the intelligence is almost comprehensive. With the help of the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Sophon, ETO can have a near-God-like view of the world.

After a burst of unrestrained laughter, the white man's extremely tired gaze fell on a photograph on the wall. The person in the photograph was Feng Taylor.

"As expected of you, Feng Taylor! Only you would dare to devise such a crazy plan!"

"What a pity, what a shame, you've already broken through the wall! Wallfacer Feng Taylor!"

With great joy, the white man established communication with others in the organization through the sophon.

"Gather manpower. The breach has been completed. We can begin planning the breach operation against Feng Taylor."

"understood."

"Feng Taylor, the humiliation you inflicted on our ETO will be repaid in full. I can already picture your expression then, hehehe..."

The white male who had disconnected from the communication smiled sinisterly. His eyes, with their heavy dark circles, showed no sign of fatigue, only the exhilaration of about to break through the wall of the person he was facing, Feng Taylor.

Undercurrents were swirling, but Lin Feng remained completely unaware.

Lin Feng and a group of CIA agents protecting him arrived at the nearest U.S. base to his residence.

Today, Lin Feng wanted to see the research progress of intelligent AI.

After getting out of the car, the CIA agents dispersed to guard against any unforeseen circumstances, with only one CIA agent accompanying them.

"It's rare that you would actually go out in person," the CIA agent said.

Since escaping the ETO's assassination attempt, CIA agents have never seen Lin Feng travel far from home, not even stepping out of his villa. All the orders he issues are carried out by others, or he communicates with people far away via video call, as if he has completely become a shut-in.

Lin Feng shrugged and said, "You have to get out and about occasionally, otherwise your bones will easily rust."

Lin Feng was well aware that he was fortunate that Liang Gong had informed him beforehand last time, otherwise he might have really fallen into a trap.

He was not a superman after all; he was just a mortal. The bomb would shatter his body along with the steel of the plane into pieces.

Not only bombs, but a single bullet could also kill him. You know, the cavitation effect can make a bullet leave a hole the size of a bowl in a person's body.

The kind of scene in movies where someone gets shot more than ten times and only splatters a little blood is simply a fantasy.

Even with numerous bodyguards, it was useless. ETO agents could hide far away and snipe him in the head with a single shot, like a watermelon exploding.

Therefore, he felt it was necessary to prioritize preserving his own life when taking action.

The reason he came to this military base this time was twofold: firstly, he was really tired of staying in his villa, and secondly, the security level of this military base was high enough, on par with the security level of his villa.

"The security level here is very high."

Walking around the base, Lin Feng felt very relaxed. After changing his environment, he felt like a completely different person.

Despite the strong smell of engine oil in the air, it didn't matter; Lin Feng just wanted a change of scenery.

The CIA agent accompanying Lin Feng said, "As per your instructions, the security level here is the same as your residence, and we have invested a lot of manpower and resources for this purpose."

His words subtly revealed a sense of regret; from the CIA agent's perspective, he felt that such expenses were far too high.

Lin Feng shook his head and replied, "It's worth doing this. You know, what's being developed here is intended for the global market. If we don't strictly control it now, there will be big problems if something goes wrong."

The intelligent AI currently under development is intended for the global market and will further expand the workforce of human civilization.

If problems arise and the workforce cannot perform to its full potential, who will be responsible?

“Even with strict controls, many problems will still arise, such as terrorist attacks carried out using AI robots,” the CIA agent retorted.

This has already happened. With the widespread adoption of intelligent robots, terrorists will illegally steal these robots, then physically hack into them to gain modification privileges and turn them into puppets for their control.

Besides drones, intelligent robots have also become a hot-selling weapon platform on the Middle Eastern battlefield.

Lin Feng knew all this, of course, but so what?

So what if you die? Everyone dies of old age eventually, whether you die sooner or later is the same.

Lin Feng said, "Looking back and forth will never lead to development. Didn't the First Industrial Revolution burn a huge amount of coal? Did anyone care about global warming?"

"In order to solve the problem of insufficient productivity in human civilization, the large-scale application of intelligent AI is a very necessary choice."

Upon arriving at their destination, they found people already waiting in front of the research institute, eagerly anticipating Lin Feng and his group's arrival.

“Mr. Taylor, I am Martin Rogers, Mr. Davis’s research assistant.”

Lin Feng sized up the person. The name sounded quite masculine, but the person was actually a woman. She had sesame seeds on her face, wore round-framed glasses on her nose, and her hair looked a bit messy.

It gives people the feeling that 'this person's life rhythm is a mess'.

"I will guide you to the research findings," Martin Rogge said, gesturing for Lin Feng and the others to follow.

“Ms. Roger, where is Davis? Why isn’t he here?”

Lin Feng looked around and noticed that Goring Davis, who should have been there to greet him, was not present, so he asked.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Roger, who was walking ahead, sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

“He’s resting. A few days ago, he suddenly said something like ‘a burst of inspiration’ or ‘I’ve got it.’ He worked for two days and two nights without sleep. Now he’s sleeping because he’s reached his physical limit.”

The CIA agent nodded and lowered his voice to Lin Feng.

"It seems that you made the right choice to hand the job over to Davis."

"My judgment has never been wrong," Lin Feng said.

Ms. Roger led the two to a display room, which was very large, about the size of a football field, filled with all sorts of mechanical objects that looked like robots.

"This is the 'mechanical dog' we developed, and it's probably our most successful one."

Ms. Roger patted the mechanical dog's body, her eyes looking at it as if it were her own child.

The CIA agent gave the mechanical dog a strange look. The mechanical dog had a strange appearance; it had no head or tail, only a torso and four limbs supporting its body. The four legs were bent backwards at the joints.

This was so different from the robots in the spy movies that he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Why do robots need limbs? Can't they use tracks or rubber wheels?"

“Yes, but the leg joints need to be more versatile to handle steep stairs. Rubber wheels are prone to wear and tear and can get tangled in threads, ropes, etc. The tracks need to be designed for fragile environments, such as tiled floors,” Ms. Roger said.

She explained the reason for designing the joint structure.

Chapter 35 Human XP is Diverse

"Our idea is to design a highly versatile robot that can use human tools and adapt to any working environment. In this way, robots can take over human work without additional design, which will greatly save costs and time."

"Which kind of robot are you talking about?" Lin Feng asked.

Their purpose in coming here was to see what kind of versatile robots could use existing human tools to complete tasks without modifying existing ones.

Lin Feng was very surprised when Davis reported this achievement to him.

"this."

Ms. Roger pointed to the spider-shaped robot next to her.

"it?"

Lin Feng walked up to the robot next to him and stopped, looking at it strangely. This spider robot had no hands, and its ten jointed legs supported it on the ground.

Aside from lacking a mouth or other openings, its appearance is virtually identical to that of a spider.

"Yes, it's called Intellectual Disability 6739."

"Why is he called mentally challenged?" the CIA agent asked curiously.

"Because it's really stupid."

Ms. Roger helplessly shrugged, then patted the mentally challenged 6739 and pointed at the CIA agent, asking about the intelligent AI.

"Mentally challenged 6739, what species is this gentleman?"

【mouse.】

Ms. Roger told the CIA agent, "Don't mind it, it's mentally challenged. We've created 6739 such mentally challenged creatures. This one is much better than the previous ones."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "Can such intelligent AI perform human jobs?"

"They are already capable enough of handling repetitive and simple tasks."

After saying that, Ms. Roger directed the mentally challenged 6739 to move towards the testing room, and in front of Lin Feng and the others, they tried to build a cement brick house.

To Lin Feng's surprise, the spider robot's ten legs could be used as human hands, and because they were mechanical, the joints could bend and reset 360 degrees.

The spider robot, like a skilled civil worker, lays the foundation, lays the red bricks, and applies the cement in one go.

"The movements are a bit sluggish..."

Lin Feng assessed the spider robot's performance.

Ms. Roger explained, "This is to meet your initial request to 'appropriately weaken the robots to prevent ETO from using them to incite riots,' but such sluggishness can be compensated for by working around the clock without sleep."

"This thing has to be connected to an electrical wire?"

The CIA agent looked at the long line on the spider robot's rear end.

If a robot cannot carry a portable power source, then there is no point in designing such a robot.

After all, you can't just plug every robot on a construction site with an electrical wire, can you?

What if the robot's movements cause the wires to get tangled?

“The energy issue remains to be resolved. Although it can operate normally with a battery, considering the long hours and complex environment of the work, a battery is clearly insufficient and would add unnecessary weight,” Ms. Roger said.

"So what do you plan to use as the energy source for these AI robots?" the CIA agent asked.

Ms. Roger smiled slightly and offered her solution.

"Hong Electronics".

“Mr. Taylor has opened up a new way of thinking for us. In fact, many things are limited by energy and cannot be further improved in efficiency, but after macro electronic energy storage is realized, everything will be different.”

“Energy storage generally has an upper limit, such as storage batteries and lithium batteries. Even if there is no upper limit, there will be problems such as high temperature, strong magnetism and strong gravity due to energy leakage. However, the energy storage of macroelectronics makes the energy leakage selective, and many problems are solved at once.”

Lin Feng cautioned, "The miniaturization of macro-electronic energy storage has not yet been developed."

"That's not a problem. Large-scale energy storage has already been developed, and I believe that miniaturization won't be too far away."

Ms. Roger, who has a deep understanding of cutting-edge technologies, gave a confident answer.

A CIA agent crouched down next to the spider robot to observe it, nodding as if he understood but not quite.
